Uncle Joe!

Joe is married to my sister Emily. They and their 2 children are hip and cool and we adore them. He visited us last weekend and this is what we did in 4 hours:

Hiked around Red Rock Canyon: 



 Visited Manitou Springs where they have funky art:

Cool toy shops:


And mineral springs where you can drink the water as it comes out of the ground, naturally carbonated:



Then we zipped over to Garden of the Gods where Joe and Ike held up Balanced Rock:





Finally, after Joe had seen a few Colorado Springs highlights we headed home for tons of food and "Gentlemen Broncos" an odd movie made by the people who did "Napoleon Dynamite".

It was a great day! Come back Joe! We Miss You!

Wow. You sure know how to pack a lot into four hours! Looks like a really fun afternoon. I love the picture of Roland and Ike.

i would love to rock climb like that, but seeing a picture of someone else perched so precariously scares me.

I think we'll go to Red Rock canyon when we are there.

I can't believe I was this far behind on reading your blog. For some reason none of your new posts have shown up on google blogger for the past month. I figured you just weren't posting there due to travel and to your other blog , which does show up.
